Well, if clothing that still remains from my female ancestors is any example, 5’ 4” may have been pretty tall 600 years ago. Just 125 years ago the women in my family were in the 4’8” — 5’0” range. Now, I am considered short at 5’6” and my female cousins range from 5’7” to over 6’. The men are taller too.
